TASK 2: Read the article below. Match choices (A – F) to 1-5. There is one choice you don’t need to use.
Use a standard section structure
Make sure your CV/resume has a common section structure. For most jobs, you need to include 5 (or 4) different sections and these sections should be placed in the following order:
1. _____________
Includes your name, contact details, date of birth and nationality.
2. ____________
This section should be used to give a quick insight (like a summary) into both you and the information you've included on the rest of the CV/resume. Briefly talk about your most important abilities, experience and achievements which are relevant to the job you are applying for.
This section is good for clarifying information which you may not have pointed out or is not clear on the rest of the CV/resume (e.g. 'able to work under pressure' or 'total number of years you have worked in a type of job' etc...).
This section is written for the benefit of the people who will read your CV/resume (to show them what to expect in the rest). So keep this section short and don't try to self promote yourself too much (which is unfortunately a common mistake). The best place to self promote yourself is on a cover/covering letter which you should always send with a CV/resume when you apply for a job.
3. _______________
The most important section. List the different jobs and positions you've had, in what companies and when. Below this, briefly explain in which department/team you work/worked and what your main role in it is/was. Then list below it your main responsibilities and achievements.
Make sure you account for all time gaps between jobs (e.g. world travel, unemployment etc...).
4. _______________
Summarize your qualifications (both academic & professional) and training. Detail where you got them from and for important qualifications the grades you achieved. Be selective on what qualifications and training you include in this section. Only write those which you think the potential employer will see as relevant (especially for training).
5. _______________
It’s not a very important section where you talk about what you like to do outside of work. I normally haven't read this section when selecting candidates to interview. In my view, you can miss it out if you want to. But if you include it, keep it short and avoid including things which put into questions your ability to do the job (e.g. activities which may interfere with you doing the job or require you to take a lot of time off from work).
